The powerful association between poverty and mental health has been recognized for many decades in the Western Countries. Despite growing poverty studies, there has been little attention to the association between poverty and mental health in Korea. In this article we examine the effects of the mental health on the poverty status transition. In this study we draw on nationally representative data from the The Korean Welfare Panel Study, to estimate the effects of depression and self-respects on the poverty status transition. Major findings are as follows. First, we find that there are mental health disparities between poor and non-poor classes. The mental health conditions of the poor are worse than the non-poor. Second, we find the strong correlations between the mental health and poverty status transition. Whether poor family exits poverty or not depends on the household head's mental health. Third, poverty experiences are different depending on the mental health conditions. To the mental ill-health family, the probabilities of poverty-exit are much lower and poverty duration is more long. Fourth, we find that family poverty status transitions are very significantly related with household head's mental health from the logistic model analysis. These findings suggest that there is a strong relationship between poor mental health and the experience of poverty in Korea. They also suggest that intervention programs to enhance the mental health of the poor are needed in order to reduce the poverty problem in Korea.

In the face of revolutionary changes in industry, the relationship between labor and income needs to be reconceptualized in the period of social revolution. The absolute decrease in labor due to the absence of labor is caused by automation, smartization, AI, robot labor, etc., which we must accept whether we want to or not. However, while gross social product and capital of the state or society increase, individual income is likely to decrease. During this transformation period, the state or politics must prepare for the problems caused by the decline in individual income. Until now, there have been various levels of discussion on social welfare or social security from the perspective of welfare or assistance. Attempts or studies at the experimental level have been conducted at the level of many countries or local governments and have found positive and negative effects. There is no basic income system that is widely implemented at the national level, and various discussions are taking place from a future-oriented perspective. Therefore, I propose to look at it from a new perspective based on the perspective so far. We explored that it is part of a positive approach to examine the importance and necessity of basic income in terms of working hours, quality of labor, income, quality of life, value of spare time, and work-life balance. The goal is to actively accept the absolute lack of working hours, replacement of mechanical labor, and polarization due to changes in the industry paradigm, and to look at the problems that come from a positive perspective. If we are going to accept it anyway, we should not look at these issues as short-sighted, but prepare them preemptively and establish a primitive plan from a long-term and overall perspective. Smartphones have changed the world over the past decade and have been lost, but wouldn't there be a lot of new discoveries? Shouldn't we think of it as a great opportunity to improve the quality of life through technological changes?

최근 경제구조가 고도화되고 생활수준이 향상됨에 따라 사회간접자본시설 및 각종 용도의 건축물에 대한 요구가 높으며, 특히 고층건물 건축시에 사용되는 리프트카의 수요 또한 증가되고 있다. 일반적으로 기계구조물은 사용기간동안 절대적 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 설계되고 있으나 실제 건설 현장에서 사용중인 피니언축에 균열이 발견되고 있으며 이로 인하여 피니언축 수리보수 기간동안의 공사중지로 공기지연 뿐만 아니라 리프트카 추락으로 인한 인명사고가 발생하는 등 그 위험성이 매우 높다. 이에 따라 각종 구조물, 설비 및 기기의 안전진단을 통한 유지보수가 중요시되고, 결함 검출의 정량화에 대한 연구, 기술 개발이 강력히 요구되고 있다.(중략)

This study investigated the degrees of knowledge management processes according to the levels of social capital(i.e., inter-departmental communication, trust, cooperation and integration) as well as information technology(IT) infrastructure(i.e., knowledge storage and transfer IT, and knowledge search IT) in Korean manufacturing firms. We also demonstrated the differences in organizational performance under various degrees of knowledge management processes. Through cluster analysis with social capital variables, we classified sample firms into five groups; 'the highest firms', 'higher firms', 'middle firms', 'lower firms', and 'the lowest firms'. It was also observed that the degrees of knowledge management processes and organizational performance in 'the highest firms' is the highest. With a structural equation modeling technique, the causal relationships among social capital, IT infrastructure, knowledge management processes, and organizational performance were confirmed. Hence, it is concluded that social capital and IT infrastructure have direct effects on knowledge management processes, and indirectly influence organizational performance through the degrees of knowledge management processes.

과거의 터미널은 사회 간접자본으로서 수출입 화물을 처리하는 항만의 기능을 중요시하여 왔다. 하지만 21세기를 맞이하는 지금에 와서는 고부가가치를 창출하여 내는 전략산업으로서 보다 많은 이익을 위해 터미널의 효율적인 운영을 필요로 한다. 그러므로 터미널 종합 관제 시스템은 보다 지능화 되어 터미널에서 발생하는 문제들에 시스템 스스로 이에 대한 해결책을 만들어 내고 이를 실제의 운영에 반영할 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 하지만 현재의 터미널에 도입되어 있는 시스템은 단순히 현재의 터미널 상황을 모니터링 하는 수준에 그치고 있다. 시스템에서 자동적으로 문제를 검출하고 해결하기보다는 어떤 문제가 발생하였을 시 문제가 생긴 상황을 파악하는 용도로서만 이용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서 기술하고자 하는 지능형 종합 관제 시스템은 이러한 용도를 넘어서 시스템 스스로 문제 상황을 파악하고 이에 대한 해결책을 시스템이 스스로 찾아내고 이를 직접 지시하여 터미널에 발생한 문제들을 해결하여 주는 시스템이다.

발파진동 및 소음은 일반적으로 발생원인이 사회간접자본의 건설이나 자원 의 개발이라는 공익성과 관련되는 것이 대부분이다. 최근에는 환경문제에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 발파진동이나 소음에 대한 관심이 높고, 또한 많은 민원이 발생되고 있다. 아무튼 발파진동의 측정은 발파에 의해 발생하는 지반 및 구조물의 진동을 파악하여 발파진동 규제기준의 수행 여부를 평가하거나 또는 발파성능을 평가할 목적으로 관련 기관들에 의해 진동측정이 실시되고 있다. 따라서 규정의 준수에 대한 판정은 발파소음과 지반진동 측정의 정확도와 신뢰도에 의존하게 된다. 그러나 발파진동측정에 대한 통일적인 방법이나 지침이 없기 때문에 현장실무에서 측정방법이나 자료처리방법 등에 많은 어려움이 따르고 있다. 따라서 ISEE의 발파진동측정을 위한 실무지침을 중심으로 진동계측자료가 신뢰성을 보장하기 위한 작업의 일환으로 발파진동 측정시 고려해야 할 사항들에 대해 고찰함으로써 발파진동 측정방법에 대한 이해를 높이고자 한다.

하수관거는 생활환경의 개선, 공중위생의 향상, 침수의 방지, 공공수역의 수질보전 및 건전한 물순환 등을 유지하기 위하여 반드시 필요한 도시기반시설이다. 우리나라는 도시민의 쾌적하고 안전한 생활을 확보하기 위하여 하수관거를 지속적으로 부설하였지만 '03년말 기준 전국의 보급률이 65.8%에 불과하고, 설치된 관거도 8.6m당 1곳이 불량하고, 하수관 유량의 31%가 침입수여서 하수관거 개선이 시급한 실정이다. 정부에서는 하수관거정비 종합투자계획을 수립ㆍ하수관거 개보수사업을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. '07년까지 5조 6천억원을 투자하여 하구관거보급률을 75%수준으로 향상시켜 하수처리장 운영효율 제고 및 수계별 목표 수질 달성에 기여 할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 하수관거정비는 시민 및 사회단체의 환경을 향상시키는 반면에 많은 예산과 장기간이 소요되는 사업이다. 그동안 민간자본을 이용하여 하수처리장 건설 등 환경기초시설 설치 등에 활용되어 왔던 BTO 방식에서 탈피하여 BTL(건설-이전-임대)방식을 도입하여 추진하게 된다. 이에 본지에서는 하수관거정비사업의 현황, 향후 추진방향 등에 대하여 자세히 살펴 보고자 한다.

This paper empirically examines the reemployment pattern (full-time versus part-time reemployment) using pooling 6 year data of Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS, 1998-2003). A discrete data analysis (multi-nominal logistic regression) is adopted to identify variables predicting reemployment pattern. Among those who lose full-time or part-time job in previous year, women and older people are found to have both longer unemployment durations and lower probabilities of full-time reemployment (versus either each of part-time reemployment or unemployment) than men and younger people. Therefore, the future labor market policy should be more associated with the one for reducing these gender and age differences in worker characteristics.

As globalization is making rapid progress, place of international trade based on seaports is changing to airports, which make logistic function in airport getting more important. Airports are required to serve as social overhead capital representing economies of scale as well as a logistic hub for integrating production, sales and transport for multinational corporations. In order to keep regional airport hub, many strategies are required such as development of hinterland and competitive advantage strategies. This paper tried to find determining factors to be a hub airport and competitiveness for hubbing, using the data from Incheon, Narita, Kansai, Nagoya, Singapore-Changi and Taipei airports. As the result of making an analysis of competitiveness of airports and competitive ranking excluding hinterland factors.

It is about the study of life satisfaction with type of employment(entrepreneur/paid employee), social factor(social capital), and psychological factor(self efficacy) in Seoul. The empirical results using Seoul Welfare Panel showed that psychological factor was the most powerful, and economic (household income levels) and social factor were in order. Type of employment was also significantly affected on life satisfaction, and paid employee's life satisfaction was higher than entrepreneur's one. In case of paid employee, psychological(self-efficacy) and social(norms, informal networks of participation, non-profit trust) factor in addition to the economic factor were significantly. In case of entrepreneur, economic and psychological factor and only norm among social factors were significant. Finally, The implications for politicians and local public officials were reported.
